Synthpop Symphony 326R1 Electropop Synthpop Synthwave Retro and Sinister Disco!

Welcome to Synthpop Symphony 326R1—your home for next-generation electronic dance music!
This is a repeat from March Madness, Week 2025 in anticipation of a whole new show next week to kick off summer, and that means more wild mix sets of brand-new music! Sinister Disco 19 brings you a one-hour set from yours truly, packed with fresh tracks—including the world premiere of the Lauer remix of Sometimes You Make Me Happy by Lucca Leeloo.
In the first hour, I’m taking a deep dive into two iconic synthpop bands—Anything Box and Cause and Effect. You’ll get a bit of backstory, a classic track from each, and a brand-new 2025 release from both!
I’ve also got a special segment on post-Soft Cell—specifically, Dave Ball, the synth mastermind behind the band, and his dance music contributions after Soft Cell split. Don’t miss that!
We’re also featuring remixes of classics from Nik Kershaw and Depeche Mode and a 10th anniversary tribute to Marsheaux’s cover of Depeche Mode’s My Secret Garden—a track that still holds up today!
